Press Release Highlights:



--  Mega's 2014 drill program continues to define near surface high grade
    gold and gold/tungsten structures within a broader gold mineralized zone
    and multiple occurrences of visible gold ("VG"). 
    --  TL-14-526 intersects 61m of 3.44 g/t gold including 6.64 g/t gold
        over 30m 
    --  TL-14-518 intersects 52m of 1.34 g/t gold equivalent including 1.98
        g/t gold over 31m plus 1.17% WO3 over 3.0m 
    --  TL-14-516 intersects 18.5m of 1.81 g/t gold including 2.71 g/t gold
        over 11.85m 
    --  TL-14-520 intersects 25m of 1.00 g/t gold including 1.40 g/t gold
        over 15m 
--  Additional gold and tungsten assays are pending from the ongoing 2014
    OCAP and drill program 



Mega Precious Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MGP) ("Mega") is pleased to announce an
additional six (6) holes from its 29 hole, 4,784 m winter drill program on its
100% owned high grade gold and tungsten Monument Bay Project, located in
Manitoba. 


Prior to this year's 2014 drill program, limited drilling had taken place in the
top 100 m of the porphyritic dyke host rock and associated shear zones at the
Twin Lakes Deposit. The results are especially significant because of the width
of near surface high grade mineralization, up to 30m in true thickness, and
Mega's ability to continue to intersect continuous gold and gold/tungsten
mineralization within a broader gold mineralized zone all within the upper 50 m
of the deposit. 


The results from TL-14-526 are among the highest gold intercepts with multiple
occurrences of visible gold (VG) in the Twin Lakes Deposit. Drilling continues
to demonstrate that appreciable high grade mineralization occurs within 25m of
surface along the eastern edge of the proposed starter pit. Holes TL-14-513,
TL-14-516, TL-14-518 to TL-14-520 were focused on converting near surface
inferred low grade or waste material into considerable grade potential within
the eastern/central portions of the current proposed pit shell. The current
Monument Bay open-pittable resource covers a strike length of 8 kms with limited
deep drilling. 


Glen Kuntz, P.Geo, President and CEO, stated, "The 2014 drill program has
definitively confirmed that there are multiple continuous high grade gold and
gold tungsten mineralized horizons within the deposit. These horizons are
providing further confidence in our geological model, our ability to continue to
building resources and to realize the full potential of the Monument Bay
Project. 


The continuity of these intercepts along with previously reported gold and
tungsten results are located in continuous shear zones that flank the broad QFP
dike which hosts the majority of the gold and tungsten mineralization and
suggest the potential for an economic Tungsten by-product credit due to the
consistent nature of the gold and tungsten association throughout the Monument
Bay Project. Mega's decision to focus its efforts on near surface resource
expansion, above 150 meters, has further strengthened the geological model and
continues to added significant value for our shareholders."

Note: Gold equivalent grade is calculated by multiplying the 3 year average 
Tungsten price of $50,300/tonne by the %WO3 then dividing by the Gold price 
$41.47/gram ($1290/ounce), then adding the Gold grade. MZTLD equates to Main
Zone Twin Lakes Deposit Tungsten Current Spot price is $42,000/tonne. Gold  
assays capped at 88.0 gpt as per June 2013 NI43-101 Report. The Company has 
not determined the economic cut-off grade for and metallurgical recoveries  
WO3.                                                                        
                                                                            
Down-hole thickness, true width varies depending on drill hole dip; most    
2014 drill holes are intersecting the vein structures perpendicularly       
therefore down hole width are close to true width                           
                                                                            



More than 12,000 m of new drilling (2013/2014) and over 8,000m of historical
core from 64 drill holes of the OCAP program has yet to be incorporated into a
new resource. Mega expects to provide an updated NI 43-101 resource during Q2/Q3
of 2014 which will encompass gold, tungsten and the results from the
metallurgical testing program currently in progress. The Company has limited
deep drilling at Monument Bay which is located in an Abitibi style Green Stone
Belt and has the same style of gold and tungsten mineralization as the Hollinger
Mine in the Timmins Camp. These types of deposits are known to extend beyond
2,000 m.


To date, all of the holes assayed for gold and tungsten have collectively
increased the overall gold equivalent grade by a weighted average of
approximately 30% when compared to the gold only results. As a point of
reference, current Tungsten only mines have resource grades between 0.09 and
1.1% Tungsten with the average being approx. 0.49% Tungsten

The property is located on Crown property in an area of low topographic relief
and outcrop is fairly rare. The Monument Bay Gold Project is located 52 km North
of Red Sucker Lake First Nation (RSLFN), Manitoba.  


Mega currently has winter road access to its camp from local communities.
Manitoba's Current Northern Development Strategy is building all-purpose roads
and infrastructure improvements within the region. Once these are complete, we
will have all purpose roads approximately 52 km of our project area. 


The current power lines with very low electricity rates (estimated at
$0.02-0.04/kWh) are approximately 48 kms from our project area.


Technical Information

The design of Mega's drilling programs, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and
interpretation of results is under the control of Mega's geological staff
including qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101
and industry best practices. A detailed review of Mega's QA/QC procedures is
filed in the NI 43-101 report dated June 17, 2013 and on SEDAR.


All drill core is transported by Company personnel from drill site to our camp
for logging, sampling preparation are completed. Sampling intervals are defined
after core logging and determination of scheelite content by examination under
short-wave UV-light. One half of the core is sent for analysis, while the other
half is retained in the core boxes for future reference. All samples are shipped
to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario and analyzed employing the
appropriate gold fire assaying technique. For QA/QC purposes the Company as well
as the lab submits standards and blanks every 20 samples. Samples are analyzed
for W by XRF and Assay results for tungsten are reported by the laboratory as
W%. WO3 values are calculated using a conversion factor of 1.2611. BC Energy &
